Well it`s something planned for the G3 Tweak Pack, although the idea itself was suggested to me by Icelus. When Avalon turns the party members into drow, the portraits will change as well. I`ve seen Aerie and Haer`Dalis as drow somewhere, but I wasn`t satisfied with the results so I decided to recolor every NPC. They`re not pitch black, as I stated, cause they`d look like crap if I were to darken them in that way.

Bearded Anomen, looks like shaving foam to me:

Grim Squeaker pointed out that elves don`t have facial hair so I used cliffette`s beardless Anomen as base (Thanks cliffette!):

Caedwyr pointed out that his ears aren`t pointy enough, heh. So I`m going to use Bev`s Anomelf as base (this will be added later).

Alas the topic states BG1, but they`re for BG2. Heh, my mistake. :P

I don`t know what to do with Edwin, though. I can`t shave him properly and there`s no beardless Edwin around, except maybe for Edwina; but Edwina has sexy lips and I doubt you would like Edwin having sexy lips as a drow.

Also I don`t know about Jan... He would look pretty retarded as a drow, methinks. Of course I can recolor him, but eh, he`s going to look strange.

As for Minsc: should I drowify Boo as well? :P

And as for Yoshi, I`m guessing it`s pointless to convert him to Llolth.

Hmm.... I suppose that in the case of non-elf NPC there would also be need for to make them look more like an elf. And I'm not talking only of pointed ears, but other facial features too. However, at least my imagination does not stretch to picture how Jan-elf or even Minsc-elf would look like. :wacko:

Perhaps you could steal someone else?s lips for beardless Edwin? Or at least use them as a base of your work? I suppose that it would look funny if Minsc and Edwin shared matching lips...

Boo - perhaps an albino hamster with red eyes?

Ihmeellinen meri

Kummalliset kalat liukuvat syvyydessä,
tuntemattomat kukat loistavat rannalla;
olen nähnyt punaista ja keltaista ja kaikki toiset värit -
mutta ihana meri on vaarallista nähdä,
se herättää tulevien seikkailujen janon:
mitä on tapahtunut sadussa, on tapahtuva minullekin.

What would probably work best for the non-human/elf npcs is to use portions of their face to create a new drow portrait. So, maybe merge two or more images, but be sure to have a couple of distinguishable features from the original NPC's portrait.

if the drow look looks good on the three first, i beleive that anos' face is too round to pass off as a dark elf. his feature are just too.... human. but the others look real. and i agree about the tattos on aerie. i wonder if those designs look drowish

Anomelf v1.3:

I don`t know, Avalon only changes their appearance and they become more drow-like; their clothes and additional trinkets don`t change.

Ziggy please define drow-like. I can recolor anything into whatever color you`d like.

The tattoos should probably stay their original color.

The tattoos look good, try changing cernds feathers or the things in aries hair make them darker or bloody. Also with any metal turn it into the purple drow stuffand make the cloth black or dark purple or silver.

One inconsistency is that all males have their lip colour changed to gray, while Aerie's did not; I agree that Anomen just does not look like an elf. Perhaps as Caedwyr has suggested merging portraits (a-la Keldorn+Haer'Dalis) is a way to go?

I don`t know if I can do that, I`m but an average Photoshop user. As I said at G3:

Let`s suppose Anomen was born as a disfigured drow (hence the round face) and was banished because of this when he was small and insignificant. B)


I can fix the lips, though. :P

If a drow is born disfigured he is immediately scrificed iirc.

Why use make-up in the Underdark? You cannot see it with infravision :lol: In fact you cannot even see your reflection in the mirror. And "real" light is used but for studying scrolls :)

I'm sure the Drow have come up with "hot" make-up which shows up when using infravision ;).
